First life cleric need advice

[ka0t1c1sm]

Oh, did I tell you I'm now leading a weekly elite Shroud on Thaz? She has gone from having troubles surviving in hard shroud, to being able to stay put and block in epic hard ADQ with the Unyielding Sentinel ED

Very nice!

Here's a little update. Thazara just ran her 20th Shroud and got her essence of cleansing. She is currently lvl 22, US5 (rank 21) and EA2 (rank 11).

Here's her current gear setup:

Armor: Blue Dragonscale Robe
Head: archmagi hat, concentration+15
Neck: Symbol of the Shining Sun
Trinket: Greater Cunning Trinket
Cloak: GS hp cloak with heavy fort
Belt: Belt of the sun soul
Gloves: Purple Dragon Gauntlets
Boots: Boots of propulsion
Bracers: Bracelet of Madness
Goggles: Concordant opposition gs goggles
Ring1: Signet of the Shining Sun
Ring2: Epic Ring of the Buccaneer tier 2/ Epic Ring of the Buccaneer tier 3 with greater false life
Shield: Epic Swashbuckler (Light) tier 2
Main hand: Epic Ornamented Dagger tier3 / Epic Brigand's Cutlass (Scimitar) tier 2

Stuff I'd still like: Spidersilk robe, gs minII scimitar, +5 silver holy burst scimitar of greater evil outsider bane (gonna craft once I get the levels high enough) and perhaps a better shield. I also want to upgrade ring of the buccaneer to tier 3 and add greater false life.

In EA Thazara has with ship buffs 475 hp and over 2300 sp, in US ED she's 675 hp and 2011 sp. She is an elf with base con 12, so I think this is pretty good. I'd still love to get her +4 tomes, though.

Got my +4 Wisdom tome in TOD raid end chest. I was very lucky, and got lots of ooos. Got lots of +2 tomes there too non-binding. Have not ran it in a while and do not know how the drop rate is for +3 tomes. I don't see too many TODs up. Guess cause there are so many Epic loot drops with exceptional now?

Hi all, updating my gear list again. As said a few times already, Thazara is caster with melee fallback. She is not an ac build, but I have been trying to boost her saves. She still needs more tomes, and I am planning to level/ max all EDs. Currently she has capped US, EA and GMoF (and has been lvl 25 for a while).

Here's her current gear setup:

Armor: spidersilk robes (cha+8)
Head: devotion +102, diplomacy+15
Neck: Symbol of the Shining Sun/ torc
Trinket: Greater Cunning Trinket
Cloak: GS hp cloak with heavy fort
Belt: Belt of the sun soul
Gloves: Purple Dragon Gauntlets
Boots: Boots of propulsion
Bracers: Bracers of Twisting Shade/ Bracelet of Madness
Goggles: Concordant opposition gs goggles
Ring1: Epic Ring of the Buccaneer tier 2
Ring2: Omniscience
Shield: Epic Swashbuckler (Light) tier 2
Main hand: Min2 GS scimitar/ +115 radiance scepter (something like that I'm forgetting now, will check this later)

:P Oh and if u're wondering, I am a bit nuts. Running epic elite demon web in grandmaster of flowers and meleing on a caster cleric. I don't do a huge amount of damage with melee (while stacking dp crits for over 1k, and I've seen heals crit for over 4k), only a fragment of what the real melees do, but it saves me mana (aura/ burst heals), might activate the torc/ con op, and I have something to do while healing. I don't waste mana on trash in epics hards/ elites, but save it for bosses/ heals.

I was looking at the named items list from Caught in the Web, and I would like the rapier for Thaz. Twilight is a very nice caster item, but since Thaz is light armor shield user (shield block+tumble), I wouldn't go for a 2hf weapon.

Thazara has run all quests in the game and most of them on elite. She currently has 4338 favor (if I am remembering correctly). She still needs Belly of the beast eE, the high road eE, Don't drink the water eE... then there are a few raids she's only done on hard or normal: LoB (hard), MA (normal), Abbot (hard) and CitW (normal). She also needs to run most challenges.
